Export Certification

From house plants moving to Florida to shipping containers of logs and lumber
sailing overseas, OPIS personnel inspect and certify many types of plant products
for export. Produce, seeds, trees and shrubs, flowering bulbs and rhizomes,
and many other unprocessed plant products may require a phytosanitary inspection
certificate before leaving Virginia to satisfy the import requirements of
the destination state or country.

Refer to the USDA Plant Quarantine
Summaries for information on exporting
plants or plant products from Virginia to other states. An inspector can
help you determine if your plant commodity needs a phytosanitary inspection
certificate for export to other countries and can schedule an inspection
if necessary.

To set up an inspection with a VDACS inspector or for answers to further
questions, including associated fees, contact your Regional
OPIS office.
